Ilill aT11 81 l1-ornrnantc hnUn hanra
made and cases cited to establish
the authority of the executive
to sign any bill within ten days after

FORMOSA BOOMING.
In dispatch to the Department of
State Minister DENLY passes a high
compliment to the present military adj
ministrator in FOrmOsa, who, the mill
lister say, is doing much to establish
order and develop the resources of
the island. In the last year
he had been able to bring into subject
ion over 400 villages with the result
that 20, 600 people have embraced civ
iliZation and over 10000 acres of aband-
oned land have been reclaimed. The
previous condition of affairs is
of Vice Consul Courles that
a thousand murders year are charged
upon the Aboriginees. Consul CrOWell,
of Annoy, speaking of the energetic
administration of the new Governor
General says that he has instituted new
towns and has erected a government
monopoly of the camphOr industry.
This, says the Consul, is regarded by
foreigners as but the first step,
n
feeling of the way by the native au
thority of Formosa to similar and more
important Government mOnopOlieS in
other and more useful articles of indus
try and trade that might cause irrepar-
able injury to foreign commercial inter
ests connected with the trade of For
mOsa, such, for instance, as the
nearly all the tea produced in Formosa
finds market in the United States as
we'll as some of the sugar produced,
the creation of government monOpolies
in that island, may justly be viewed
with more than ordinary interest as
to their present and probable future
effect on American interests.
NO ACTION YET TAKEN.
The Comptroller of the Currency said
this afternoon that he has not been able
as vet to take action i'll regard to the
VI ANoOl w NiliS'
under the recent act of Congress au-
thOrizing such designation when re-
quested by three. fouTths of the National
banks in the city where such privileges
are desired He will do nothing. he
says, until he has received certified
copy of the bill from the Secretary of
State. He expects to receive this in a
few days and will make arrangements
for the speedy execution of this law.
MIR. TrOtter, the new Recorder of
Deeds for the District of Columbia.
called at the White House to-day in
company with eX-Recorder Matthews
and was formally presented to the
President. 1t was their first meeting.
